Bradley Whitford in green skivvies. That and a funny accent were really the jokes in this episode of The Good Guys. This isn't exactly a problem but it did wear a little thin by the end. Maybe that's this entire series in microcosm. It's a lot of fun and it's nice that those of us still watching have been able to sit back each week and just enjoy the ride, but that won't carry a series or justify a second season. And make no mistake, the chance of The Good Guys getting a second season is pretty slim, especially considering that Fox is moving it to the network's Friday night hospice. That said, I think I'm okay with this show being a one-season wonder. It's an inconsequential genre romp that never takes itself too seriously. There are worse things to be on television.

"Silvio's Way" has a potentially plum premise that mostly gets wasted. While commiserating at a bar, Jack and Stark are approached by a glaring Italian-American stereotype who insists that Stark is a chest-beating goomba named Silvio. Flash back seven years to what can best be described as Stark's last good year when he was initially undercover on a mob sting. A little oversleeping lost him the case, so now Stark wants to redeem himself by nabbing the same mobsters in the modern day. Meanwhile, a couple of brainless hicks run around Dallas knocking off drug stores and an electronics store keeps getting vandalized. After eight episodes of the series, the inevitable convergence of these plots feels a bit dull.

Because Jack needs to be integrated into the episode, the sting goes awry and Dan ends up having to beat him up to prove his loyalty to the rest of the mob guys. Also to prove his loyalty, the aforementioned skivvies incident. Stark strips down to his green undies to prove he isn't wearing a wire. All right, so Bradley Whitford sacrificing his dignity for a few laughs was worthwhile, even if the bit went on too long.

The big twist of the episode is that the mobsters aren't really mobsters. In that botched sting from seven years ago, the crew was puling its one and only job. These days they're a dentist, a photographer and a restaurant owner. Poor Stark, always stuck in his fantasies, is simultaneously so obsessed with being a fake mobster and the real cop who busts mob punks that he doesn't do his homework. As with a lot of the twists on The Good Guys, this isn't quite as funny or as fleshed out as it should have been. Naturally, it does lead to the real criminals getting busted in the end, but that's hardly the point.

Best Moment: Stark in his "man-panties". It takes a lot to distract from that mustache, but that about did it.

Notes: More Jack and Liz non-plot. Sometimes it feels like this entire series is based off the idea that no viewer watches more than one episode.

Episode Rating: 3/5- I don't want to be bored when I watch this show and a fair amount of this episode was boring. Not terrible, but not great either.
